I Heart Saturdays

It's Saturday again! My favorite.

I had a writers workshop today, so I'm just getting around to blogging.

Last night, we had dinner with Ryan's friend, Kelcey. I made Peanut Chicken and Tofu again. Recipe here.

This morning, I had an egg and cheese breakfast sammy.

Then, I ran off to my workshop. Always fun. We did some fun prompts. One of them was a poetry prompt. I wrote my first haiku ever.

empty and blind she

lived under a tree that grew

fruits she could not eat

I'm not the best poet, actually, but it was fun.

Afterwards, I picked up Ryan and we went to see the new apartment. The woman that was living there just moved out, so it was finally empty.

Here's the view out my new office window.

Big "apartment yard" that needs a ton of work, but we're so excited about it!

I'm not sure what the rest of the day holds. We shall see. I hope your weekend is going great!

Do you write or read poetry?

Cabbage Casserole with a Friend and Happy 4th!

Hey lovies,

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!

Today was extremely busy. I started off the day with a breakfast that will look familiar to you.

Sunny-side down on a Whole Wheat English Muffin. I wasn't sure it could really be as good as I remembered it being yesterday, so I had it again today just to be sure. Yep. To die for.

Then, I went to work and the day moved at light speed. I was only supposed to work until 1, so I only brought a snack.

I didn't get out of there until 2pm and then I had to run several errands. I was after 3pm when I got home and I was ravenous. I had leftovers from last night for my late lunch, but I forgot to picture. Sorry. After a quick bite, hubby (who was off today) and I made a quick stop at Vons to get ingredients for this evening's dinner.

I made (Vegetarian) Cabbage Casserole by combining a couple different recipes I'd seen before and improvising (from memory). I got the whole thing in the oven and realized I hadn't put the 1 cup of brown rice in it that I knew it called for. My friend said, No worries - We'll eat it anyway. So, we did, and it was AWESOME!

I'm really sorry I didn't take a pic of the actual casserole. This busy day threw me all off. Here are a couple pics from dinner though. Obviously you can tell which one I took, since it's blurry.

I'm glistening thanks to the fact I had the oven going on a warm day in my non-AC'd apartment. :)

After dinner, she and I walked to the Better than Yogurt place down the street and had a sweet treat that really hit the spot.

Now, I'm about to go chill with Mr. Myers. Tomorrow morning, I have an appointment with my trainer. After that, the day is open. I'm sure we'll have a great time, no matter what! Happy 4th everyone!

P.S. I'll be reviewing a product I know alot of you reallllly love over the weekend, so be sure to check my blog Monday morning.

xoxo
-Mrs. Myers
